I&#39;m interested in NLP. If anyone does a seminar on NLP or anything like this I&#39;m completely there.<br><br clear="all">Cheers,<br>Tom Longson (nym)<br>------------------------------<br><a href="http://tomlongson.com">http://tomlongson.com</a><br>

If you&#39;ve been watching the internets, those (ahem) interested in analyzing, exposing, and kicking around the Church of Scientology have been doing so for the past year and change... <br><br>Studying the neuro/linguistic reprogramming and emotional manipulation of this cult is a long and exhausting task. I&#39;d certainly attend your talks.<br>

Mostly, I&#39;m amazed you can make it through the reading, and still have the energy to parse this material for others&#39; consumption.<br><br>for those playing along in the home game:<br>TRs = &quot;Training Routines&quot; = the hypnotic multi-hour sessions Scientology uses to retrain mental processes and suppress critical thinking impulses. Via yelling at ashtrays.<br>

<br>I find it all fascinating, as this is an instance of Power being broken over the knee of freely available knowledge. <br>It&#39;s a whipping boy for much of the Do-Not-Question-Or-Analyze attitudes of other churches doctrines. <br>

Reporters are getting their revenge for decades of threats: <a href="http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/" target="_blank">http://www.tampabay.com/specials/2009/reports/project/</a><br>It&#39;s also a hilarious example of an entity with an Unwarranted Sense of Self Importance being unable to sue groups off the internet. (especially when one of those groups is completely batshit freaking insane, desu.)<br>
